Government IAM & FedRAMP Consulting
Identity and access management for federal, state, and local government agencies — FedRAMP authorization, NIST 800-63 digital identity, CMMC compliance, PIV/CAC integration, and zero trust architecture.
IAM Challenges in Government & Public Sector
Government agencies must balance security mandates (Executive Order 14028, NIST, CMMC) with citizen service delivery demands. Legacy systems, PIV/CAC infrastructure, cross-agency federation, and FedRAMP requirements create an IAM landscape unlike any commercial sector. AskMeIdentity brings specialized experience across federal civilian, DoD, state, and local government.
FedRAMP Authorization
Design IAM architectures using FedRAMP-authorized solutions. Assist with FedRAMP authorization packages for IAM components and cloud identity services.
NIST 800-63 Identity
Digital identity proofing, authentication assurance levels (AAL), and federation assurance levels aligned to NIST SP 800-63-4 guidelines.
CMMC & DFARS
Meet CMMC Level 2-3 identity requirements for defense contractors — CUI protection, MFA, privileged access, and NIST 800-171 controls.
PIV/CAC Integration
Smart card authentication with PIV (HSPD-12) and CAC cards — certificate-based authentication, OCSP validation, and derived credentials for mobile.
Our Government IAM Approach
Compliance & Authorization Mapping
Map your IAM requirements against NIST 800-53, CMMC, FedRAMP, and EO 14028. Identify gaps in current identity posture and build a remediation roadmap.
Zero Trust Architecture Design
Design ZTA aligned to CISA's Zero Trust Maturity Model and NIST SP 800-207 — identity pillar, device pillar, network pillar, and continuous diagnostics.
Identity Platform Deployment
Deploy FedRAMP-authorized identity platforms — Okta for Government, Microsoft Entra ID Government, or Ping Identity — with PIV/CAC and SAML/OIDC federation.
Cross-Agency Federation
Implement identity federation for cross-agency and inter-government access — trust frameworks, attribute sharing, and federated access to shared services.
ATO Documentation & Continuous Monitoring
Complete Authority to Operate (ATO) documentation for identity systems, establish continuous monitoring with SIEM integration, and ongoing compliance reporting.
Government IAM Capabilities
Citizen Identity (Login.gov)
Implement citizen-facing identity with Login.gov integration, NIST 800-63 IAL2 identity proofing, and phishing-resistant MFA for public services.
Workforce Identity Modernization
Migrate from legacy identity stores to modern cloud identity — Active Directory modernization, hybrid identity, and PIV-to-FIDO2 transition strategies.
Privileged Access for Gov Systems
PAM for classified and unclassified networks — session recording, just-in-time elevation, and break-glass procedures for government IT operations.
Supply Chain Identity
Identity verification and access control for government contractors and supply chain — CMMC compliance, CUI protection, and contractor lifecycle management.
Cloud Identity for GovCloud
Identity architecture for AWS GovCloud, Azure Government, and Google Cloud for Government — FedRAMP High, IL4/IL5, and ITAR-compliant configurations.
Legacy System Integration
Bridge modern identity to legacy government systems — mainframe SSO, RACF integration, and legacy web application modernization with identity-aware proxies.
Expected Outcomes
Meet EO 14028 mandate for phishing-resistant authentication across all agency users within the required timeline.
Progress through CISA's Zero Trust Maturity Model stages — from Traditional to Advanced across all five pillars.
Streamlined ATO process for identity systems with pre-built security documentation and continuous monitoring.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you support FedRAMP authorization?
Yes, we help agencies select FedRAMP-authorized IAM solutions and assist with ATO documentation for identity systems. We also support FedRAMP assessment preparation for IAM vendors.
Can you help with Executive Order 14028 compliance?
Absolutely. We implement phishing-resistant MFA, zero trust architecture, and software supply chain identity controls aligned with EO 14028 requirements and OMB M-22-09.
What about state and local government?
Our approach scales to state and local agencies. We help with StateRAMP, CJIS compliance, election security, and citizen service identity modernization.
Do you have government clearance capabilities?
Some of our team members hold active security clearances. Contact us to discuss your specific requirements and we can match the right cleared resources to your engagement.
